I would say it was appreciation for the time he went after
a guy who had decided to stock me, but I found him
a tiny bit endearing before that.

LOL. It's call "stalk", not stock, you nitwit.

And I wasn't stalking you. I was having fun with a sock puppet.

Dave (and Wolfgang as *always* gone after this "guy." It's fun for
both of us.) d;o)

Chances to fish are abundant and cheap.

Unfortunately, not in my life.

Prioritize.

I consider my meager time
on the river to be a blessing.

O.k.

I was wishing the same blessing on you.

Well, you can be taking your blessing and jamming it up your ass
sideways.

But, I can see where you may have taken
it otherwise.

Yeah, I can see where that might have happened too. Or maybe not.

My apologies.

Es macht nichts.

But then, so are chances to
listen to blue jays hold raucous counsel, to ponder the significance
of the early dropping of maple leaves, to consult with meadow voles,
to mud-pack chestnut blight cankers, to chat with friends, to savor
pickle mustard greens, to photograph native wildflowers, to check on
the ripening of hazelnuts and try to determine the best time to pick
them in order to ensure ripeness and yet beat the squirrels, to effect
repairs on the pond, to stare at the blueness of the sky, to read a
good book about botanizing and zoologizing in the British countryside,
to linger over the question of whether to have a cup of coffee, a
beer, a glass of wine, a bowl of ice cream, some of last night's left-
over pizza.....or some combination thereof, to repair runoff damage to
the driveway, to mow the paths between the rows of trees, to check up
on the butterflies, and a host of other products, passtimes, problems,
pet projects and ****ants.

In fact, each day presents such an infinitude of chances that one
could easily spend all one's time merely cataloguing them.....to the
detriment of the chances of accomplishing anything else. *That might
even be amusing for a while. *Ultimately, though, I think it would be
stultifying. *One would likely end up becoming the kind of person who
makes stupid assertions and then tries to cover his ass with further

I do not believe you made me read through that entire letter to
find the jewel at the bottom.

Believe it. Your every thought and action is under my direct
control. I'ts been that way forever and will contiue to be for a
long, long time. Get used to it.

(I was never one to open the cereal
box from the bottom to get to the toy quicker.)

You missed a golden opportunity.....it also gets you to the cereal
quicker.

I hope you are feeling better.

Every day in every way.

And when you are back up to speed,

Oh? Is my speed off? I'll work on that.

forget about the blue jays, maple leaves, meadow voles, chestnut
cankers, your friends, no scratch that, they are blessing too,
mustard greens, wildflowers, hazelnuts, squirrels, the pond, the
sky, the British countryside, your coffee, your beer, your wine,
ice cream, leftover pizza (a delicacy), your driveway, the lawn,
problems, pet projects, ****ants (not me), ducks, rabbits,
aardvarks, etc.

(Yes, most assuredly you) and no, I won't be forgetting about any of
those things.

and go fishing!

Not even on the list of priorities.

Fishing is a blessing.

Those blessings are getting annoyingly common around here.

And don't forget to write us all about it.

I'm really not the forgetful type. Hold your breath.

Todd

You should know *that the person you are trying to argue w or match
wits wits with *is a flaming, *obnoxious and notorious asshole
Do not put up with him calling you an idiot and a moron or any other
derogatory woerds

He is a mean spirited LITTLE man , somewhere in ****ville Wisconsin
He has serious mental and physical problems
Hhe likes to goad you intt telling hime to **** off.
It assuages and serves some sick desires of his.

He likes *mental & sadly, *even physical punishment and pain
Don't give in to yhe temptation.
Stay above it.

Truth be told Giles has has a very small and almost a non-existent
penis.
I am certain that he has serious sexual problems.
It has been rumoured - and there have been claims of bestiality

He envies everyone on usenet because his" thing" is not large enough
for his physical and mental gtymnastics - strenuous *physical and
mental masturbation.
He cannot stop nor does he want to.

Everyone on usenet knows this about Giles aka Wofgang.

I am surprised that you aren't aware of his severe limitations

So disregard him - you may even pity him
but
I would souggest f kill filing him.
Fortunately I can only read his posts in replies that are mirrored.

He will probably come up w an inane, man spirited *and a senseless
retort becauuse he can't stop himself

Me- I don't give a rat's ass what he posts as I cannot read him
There are numerous users that have blocked his posts -

There is even a usenet *group to discuss his problems
alt.goat mastiurbation.whogivesaflying ****

In truth - It's sad.

Hi Flebow,

I take your point. *I would not characterize him the
way you did, but instead, I would characterize him
as a "cantankerous misanthrope" -- much cleaner and
more accurate. *(I am sure he will correct me if
he finds me inaccurate.)

To be sure. Now, why don't you go ahead and tell us what you think
the words "cantankerous" and "misanthrope" mean. Then I'll correct
you if you are wrong.

"idiot and a moron" are the least of the things he has
called me.

Value judgment. Highly idiosycratic and impossible to refute with any
authority.

Wait until he calls you a child molester
for witnessing your religion to him,

Did I do that? Wow. I had no idea that I am that insightful.

which I did find very disgusting and I told him so.

Hm.....

Was I crushed?

He has also questioned
my intelligence when I made the statement that I thought
trout when created by God.

Now, lets be honest here. You don't REALLY believe that's the only
time I've "questioned" your intelligence, do you? I mean, that would
be kinda dumb, don'tcha think?

I do believe I just let that
one slide. *But I don't remember.

Well, I don't remember either. It's a shame. We might have learned
something.....and now it's lost forever. Hm......no, wait a minute!
Maybe not forever! We could do it again and see what happens.
Whattya think?

Still, a tiny part of me, and I can not explain why,
finds him a just a tiny bit endearing. *There is no explanation.

Actually, there IS an explanation. It's the love that shines through
in everything I write. There's just no hiding that light under a
bushel.

I would say it was appreciation for the time he went after
a guy who had decided to stock me,

There was good and sufficient reason for that. You just don't strike
me as an off the shelf kind of guy.

but I found him
a tiny bit endearing before that.

I love ya man.....but you ain't getting my beer.

I am really not sparring with him,

Truth.

other than gentle teasing,
like trying to get him to call me a "nitwit", when I write
back to him.

I think maybe you'd have better luck trying to get me to call you
"Roxanne" or "parabola." Or, maybe not. But, hell, what's it cost to
try, ainna?

I am really writing out of friendship,

That's sweet.....really.

although we are not really friends.

No, I guess we aren't. Does that seem sad to you? Sometimes it
doesn't seem that way to me.....but I just get all in a muddle when we
do this.

I am okay with him.

That's two of us, then, Who knows?.....there may be others.*

And I do take your point.

You should give it back. His hat's gonna blow off.

Absurdly generous to the core, I'll take it as a given that you
transcribed what you found in the dictionary more or less faithfully.
But that isn't necessarily the same thing as knowing what the words
mean, is it?

Moreover, even a complete understanding of definition does not in
itself imply a correct application.

So, how'd you do?

About like always.

Hm.....

Or maybe you don't know what you said and what I said.

I am really, really unique.

Yes, we all are. It's one of the many things we all have in
common.....however shameful the realization may be for some of us.

You might even say a bit weird.

You might say that. I probably wouldn't. And that strikes to the
heart of this conversation (as well as others we've had and,
doubtless, more to come). By now you should really have some sort of
idea of the sort of thing I might say.....and you evidently don't.

The good kind of weird.

And what kind would that be?
